Journalist, editor and producer covering society, business, architecture, tourism, rural regeneration, conservation. I work/have worked for The Guardian, Telegraph, Times, Financial Times, Conde Nast Traveller, Business Life, Business Insider, Reader's Digest, Icon Films and the BBC. I also provide consultancy services to international brands.
I provide editing services to businesses and NGOs across a wide range of sectors, helping produce clear, compelling English language copy for blogs, reports, press releases, websites, social media campaigns and books.
Services include English as a Second Language (ESL) editing.
There’s an outline below of the different levels of editing on offer along with guide rates. Rates are calculated on the basis that the copy submitted is edit-ready, finished work rather than a work in progress.
Rates apply to editing of finished copy. As a reference, a page is calculated as 250 words.
